Chapter: 24. What is the Role of Diet in Yoga?
Blurb:
Premodern yoga treats diet as of ritual, ethical and practical importance, but although most practitioners would have been lacto-vegetarian in more recent times, this is not universal. In modern times, the diet recommended to and by yoga practitioners has a similar range and diversity, but interestingly, the reasoning for these dietary practices has changed.
